SANTA’S SLAY

This Canadian-lensed Christmas-themed splatter comedy from 2005 clearly wanted to be the BAD SANTA of its day…but wasn’t

OFFSPRING

The fourth film adaptation of the work of Jack Ketchum, 2009’s OFFSPRING is, like the other three (THE LOST, THE GIRL NEXT DOOR and RED), not bad

ANTICHRIST

Head bashing, perverted sex, stabbing, strangulation, testicle smashing, entrail eating, ankle skewering and vaginal mutilation are among the delicacies of this lacerating film, one of the most provocative and unrelenting cinematic offerings of recent years

ANGUISH

A fairly clever movie theater set splatter film, ANGUISH has some clever touches but suffers from the fact that the film-within-the-film is really lame

ALIEN 2: ON EARTH

This is the unauthorized Italian-made sequel to ALIEN that was withheld from American release for decades

ALIEN BLOOD

Terrifically entertaining, superbly filmed shot on video horror/sci fi madness that was released, believe it or not, by Troma

PHILOSOPHY OF A KNIFE

A history of Japan’s notorious Unit 731, this film, lasting four hours, mixes documentary and staged footage into an utterly unique whole

THE UGLY

Pretty good nineties horror from New Zealand, with style, decent acting and gore a ‘plenty!
